vkontakte (russian: вконтакте, internationally branded vk) is a russian social network service popular in russia, ukraine, belarus, and kazakhstan. vk offers a striking similarity in design and functionality to its us rival facebook, and as such has been described as a "facebook clone." like facebook, vk allows users to message contacts publicly or privately, create groups and events, share and tag images and video, and play browser-based games. one distinction of vk is its integration with torrent filesharing technology which allows users to share larger files.

as of february 2011, vk has around 135 million accounts, but has acknowledged that it has a major spam problem. vkontakte is ranked 35 in alexa's global top 500 sites and is the third most visited website in russia.

in english, в контакте or v kont?kte translates as "in contact" or "in touch".
